Diversity and knowledge in the age of nation-building: Space and time in the thought of Yanagita Kunio

The study examines the thought of Yanagita Kunio (1875–1962), an influential Japanese nationalist thinker and a founder of an academic discipline named minzokugaku. The purpose of the study is to bring into light an unredeemed potential of his intellectual and political project as a critique of the way in which modern politics and knowledge systematically suppresses global diversity. The study reads his texts against the backdrop of the modern understanding of space and time and its political and moral implications and traces the historical evolution of his thought that culminates in the establishment of minzokugaku. My reading of Yanagita’s texts draws on three interpretive hypotheses. First, his thought can be interpreted as a critical engagement with John Stuart Mill’s philosophy of history, as he turns Mill’s defense of diversity against Mill’s justification of enlightened despotism in non-Western societies. Second, to counter Mill’s individualistic notion of progressive agency, he turns to a Marxian notion of anthropological space, in which a laboring class makes history by continuously transforming nature, and rehabilitates the common people (jomin) as progressive agents. Third, in addition to the common people, Yanagita integrates wandering people as a countervailing force to the innate parochialism and conservatism of agrarian civilization. To excavate the unrecorded history of ordinary farmers and wandering people and promote the formation of national consciousness, his minzokugaku adopts travel as an alternative method for knowledge production and political education. In light of this interpretation, the aim of Yanagita’s intellectual and political project can be understood as defense and critique of the Enlightenment tradition. Intellectually, he attempts to navigate between spurious universalism and reactionary particularism by revaluing diversity as a necessary condition for universal knowledge and human progress. Politically, his minzokugaku aims at nation-building/globalization from below by tracing back the history of a migratory process cutting across the existing boundaries. His project is opposed to nation-building from above that aims to integrate the world population into international society at the expense of global diversity.

Hätähuuto internetissä – Internet-sensuurin eettisten argumenttien tarkastelu: Case Cleanfeed Iso-Britannia

Uudet teknologiat mahdollistavat uusia kommunikaatiotapoja, mutta myös uusia tapoja sensuroida kommunikaatiota. Sananvapaus on perinteisesti levännyt vapaan journalismin ja sanomalehtien hartioilla, mutta internet-sivujen, blogikirjoitusten ja sosiaalisen median myötä ajatusten julkaiseminen globaalisti on entistä helpompaa. Ei kuitenkaan ole varmaa, että julkaistut ajatukset tavoittavat yleisönsä. Valtioiden lisääntyvästi harjoittama internet-sensuuri on siirtänyt sananvapauden haavoittuvimman kohdan painokoneista internet-yhteyksiin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus on tarkastella internet-sensuurin puolesta esitettyjen argumenttien eettisyyttä. Sensuurin puolesta esitetyt argumentit viittaavat yleensä tietyntyyppisen internet-sisällön, kuten pornografian, negatiivisiin vaikutuksiin, mistä syystä analyysissä käytetään Utilitaristista näkökulmaa. Iso Britanniassa käytetyn estolistan puolesta esitetyt argumentit otetaan tutkimuksen kohteeksi. Tämän tutkielman teoria pohjautuu Utilitarismin etiikkaan, sananvapauden filosofiaan ja internet-sensuurijärjestelmien tekniseen toimintaan. John Stuart Millin mukaan ihmisten sananvapautta ei tule rajoittaa, elleivät he estä muiden ihmisten mahdollisuuksia onneen. Tämän ajatuksen nojalla on tarpeellista tarkastella internet-sensuurijärjestelmien teknistä toteutusta, jotta niiden käytön todelliset seuraukset voidaan selvittää. Teknisistä järjestelmistä käytetään usein erilaisia metaforia, mutta metaforat voivat usein yliyksinkertaistaa teknisiä yksityiskohtia tai esittää niitä väärässä valossa, eivätkä tätä syystä riitä analyysin pohjaksi. Tutkielman löydökset näyttävät, että internet-sensuurin hyväksi esitetyt argumentit eivät ole päteviä Utilitaristisen analyysin pohjalta. Tutkitun internet-sensuurijärjestelmän utiliteetti on negatiivinen ja huonompi kuin filtteröimättömän internet-yhteyden utiliteetti. Aikuissisällön aiheuttamaa vaaraa lapsille on liioiteltu, ja lapsuuden suojelemiseksi rakennetuissa järjestelmissä on suuret mahdollisuudet väärinkäytölle ja tahattomille negatiivisille seurauksille. Sananvapaus on yhteiskuntamme perusta. Se on työkalu konfliktien luomiseksi ja selvittämiseksi rakentavalla tavalla yhteisten totuuksien löytämiseksi. Tutkitut argumentit eivät anna erioikeuksia sensuuriin.

Second Welland Canal - Book 3, Survey Map 2 - Canal to Chippewa Creek with Port Robinson

Survey map of the Second Welland Canal created by the Welland Canal Company showing the canal as it passes through Port Robinson. Identified structures associated with the Canal include the Guard Lock, Collector Toll Office, towing path, and the New Cut of the canal. The surveyors' measurements and notes can be seen in red and black ink and pencil. Local area landmarks are also identified and include streets and roads (ex. Island Street, Bridge Street, John Street, and Cross Street), bridges (Swing Bridge, and several unnamed bridges), Welland Railroad, Canal to Chippewa Creek (and two old locks and one new lock associated with the canal), Chippewa Creek, Back Water, an unnamed Island, Dry Dock leased to McFarland and Abbey, Abbey's Office, D. McFarland and Co. Saw Mill (Burnt), G. Jordan Tavern, Robert Elliot Store House and Wharf, Isaac Pew's Shop, Colemans Hotel, R. Band and Co. Girst Mill, Donaldson and Co. Grist Mill, H. Marlatt Dwelling House and barn, Henry W. Timms Hotel, Methodist Church, Post Office, Blacksmith Shop, a church, a structure labeled B. Patch, and a number of other structures that are not named. Properties and property owners of note are: Lots 202 and 203, S. Hill, D. McFarland, Church Society, G. Jordan, D. Coleman, John Brown, Rob Coulter, Robert Elliot, Isaac Pew, James McCoppen, William Bell, Charles Stuart, Andrew Elliot, Robert Band, Ed. Feney, John Betty, F. Sharp, William B. Hendershot, A. Brownson, H. Marlatt, J. S. Powell, and the School Trustees. Two reserved properties are labeled in red.The current spelling of Chippewa Creek is Chippawa. Although it not possible to make out the entire name of the H. W. Timms hotel located at Front and Bridge Street on the map itself, it was discovered to belong to Henry W. Timms after consulting the 1851-52 Canada Directory.

The sugar cane vegetal residues unloaded in the sugar mill: Operational costs and physical characteristics

Brazil produced in 2002/03 season 317.87×106tons of sugar cane stalks and 36.88×106tons of vegetal residues (green leaves, dry leaves and tops) in a planted area of 4.61×106 hectares (ha). These residues have a useful heat of 3,613.14Mcal.t-1. Currently most of this biomass is burned as a pre-harvest practice. The doubt persists in the system type that it must be adopted to pick up, load, transport and unload this biomass at the sugar mill boilers. This study analyzed 22 variables related to operational costs and physical characteristics of these residues in a field situation using a JOHN DEERE® 6850 forage harvester with two different treatments: T1 and T2 (two types of rakes) with 6 repetitions each one. The geographic location of the studied area that belongs to COSTA PINTO MILL (COSAN® Group) is: Latitude 22°40'30S and Longitude 47°36'38W. The adopted methodology was proposed by Ripoli et al. (2002). The obtained results at a 5% level of significance showed that both treatments did not differed significantly between them. Some of the results were, where EBP stands for Oil Equivalent Barrel: Windrowing (T1=US$0.17.EBP-1 and US$9.59.ha-1, T2=US$0.08.EBP-1 and US$4.27.ha-1); Pick up (T1=US$1.31.EBP-1 and US$44.29.ha-1, T2 =US$1.37.EBP-1 and US$48.36.ha-1); Transportation (T1=US$1.27.EBP-1 and US$14,30.ha -1, T2=US$1.33.EBP-1 and US$14,80.ha -1), Unloading at the sugar mill (T1=US$0.30.EBP-1 and US$3.39.ha-1, T2=US$0.32.EBP-1 and US$3.51.ha-1); Total (T1=US$3.05.EBP-1 and US$71.57.ha-1, T2=US$3.10.EBP-1 and US$70.94.ha-1). Confronting the obtained data with the ones in the bibliography, this system revealed itself more expensive than the baling system or the integral harvest system using combines.
